Thirty-five years goes by quickly. In our hearts, despite our ages, professions, kids and grand-kids, I believe we are all still about 17 or 18.

The reunion was FUN. Michael did an awesome job putting it together. The playlist was perfect.

It was absolutely fantastic to see the people I really wanted to see. Even though we catch up on FB, sometimes you need to be live and in person.

THIS picture is one of my favorites in that it just makes me laugh. John - right in the middle of the women.

Maggie, John, Susan, and Sharon

I was pretty fried by the time the end rolled around - sadly this was just at 11:45 or so. Mary Jo came up to the room and chatted for about another hour or so, and then she went home.

I headed for home pretty early Sunday morning.

My neighbors were having a party and had an outdoor concert - I would bet it was two guys singing their hearts out: ELP, Yes, Simon & Garfunkel, Pure Prairie League, The Beatles, C,S,N,& Y - and Young solo. I sang along to "America" and "Amy" and "The Needle and the Damage Done" - it was the most marvelous way to cap off the weekend.

I am reading a book a day at this point - if you want to know what I've been reading feel free to check out my Goodreads feed - it's up to date.

OT continues to work AND kick my ass at the same time. Today is a hard day - my arm is very achy and swollen. I called Laura and for today I will ice, heat and exercise. In that order.

My favorite text from Bella came yesterday. I truly laughed out loud.

Bella & Melissa at the top - HOORAY! Followed by the slolum down.

Here's a link to Mount Marathon. The group will be on their way home in a few hours. WHAT an adventure!

This is Ronin. This gorgeous baby started heart surgery at 3:30 THIS afternnon. It is a five hour surgery. Send love. Lots and lots and lots of love and healing and prayers.

While driving to and from Long Island (NO TRAFFIC in either direction, THAT was a miracle) I listened to Pandora. I went to give a thumbs up to this song and found out I already had in January. Well, alright then. It is an ethereal kind of song.

It's nearly five o'clock. I hope your day has been fabulous.
